Statement:The only way to change Olympia is to change the people we elect to represent us.

I am not a professional politician. My wife and I have three children, and I am deeply concerned about the future of our great state. Olympia isn't listening. While families are suffering, the state added billions in new spending and debt. Olympia has the wrong priorities. Millions in new taxes on families and small businesses were imposed. Olympia ignores the will of the people. Voter-approved initiatives to limit taxes, reduce class sizes and raise teacher pay were suspended.

Olympia has lost touch with the people it represents. As your senator, I will be responsive to the families and communities of this district. Taxes and Spending: I will oppose new taxes on families and small business. I will fight irresponsible and unsustainable spending increases. Jobs: I will work to enact policies that encourage job creation and opportunity. Education: Olympia has failed education. I will make it a priority once again. And I will never vote to override an initiative passed by the voters.

Endorsed by Rob McKenna, Kathy Lambert, Bill Finkbeiner and Louise Miller. I would be honored to have your vote.
